after the chemo, rt, how long tili feel well??

Hi chic.....It took me 10 months of hard work to get back to being fit and strong after chemo, I had physio on a regular basis for most of that time and had to exercise to get those ole joints and muscles working again, but that was me, I can't say how long for any one else because it depends on many things. You are going to have to get used to taking it steady and listen to your body, now I know saying that is damn annoying but it is true I'm afraid hun and expect to get tired, it is normal. You will get used to the 'new' you and are you impatient, yes you are, it will take time. I wanted to get back to my old self asap and with me, it didn't happen as fast as I thought it should have. Get the scans out of the way and then sort out a pace for yourself, don't expect to go straight up through those gears mate, hit first, then work up to second and so on. We will both be back on our motorbikes like we wish it just might not be right away. Hugs back and you take care. love Carol x

cheers carol. i know your right, i'm just on a bit of a struggle at the moment - i  keep not listening to my body then i suffer for it.. scrxx this cancer i hate it, so wots new, dont we all. i seem to have lost the plot today, time to get off this sofa and find something to do.. not sure wot. got friends arriving sunday so that should get me out of this down mood. i agree, we will both get back on our bikes and maybe even meet up somewhere in a pub between dieulidou and cornwall!! hmmm that might be in the middle of the channel! we are coming to england in october (in the car this time, as even i know i cant do 900km at the moment on the bike!)

speak to you soon lots of love and hugs sue xxxx

Hi Sue,

I have not had radiotherapy but have recently finished chemo.  I started feeling almost `back to normal` - whatever that is! - after about five weeks. I am sure everybody is different however.  Hope you feel better soon both physically and emotionally.

Good luck, best wishes, Heather x
